Hello,
I'm trying to type up some reports and documents for work i do not seem to have "word" or "pages" and my mac wont let me update to newer OS. when i go to updates available, it says none.
I'm currently using OS X 10.10 ? Yosemite
can you help?
Pages is only available for Macs running High Sierra or Mojave. The updates section of the App Store only shows you updates available for the OS you are running. To go from one OS to a newer OS is called an upgrade.
Depending on what Mac you have and its age determines what you can upgrade to.

If your Mac an upgrade further than El Capitan then you will be refused El Capitan

and if it is young enough it might be able to upgrade to Mojave.

Check to make sure your applications are compatible.
El Capitan 10.11 Compatibility information
macOS Sierra 10.12: Compatible Apps
Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.
Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
Microsoft's Office for Mac is a paid subscription (Office365), or single purchases of Office 2016 for Mac, or Office 2019 for Mac. Only Office365 subscription versions of the Microsoft applications are available from the Mac App Store. All of these Microsoft applications are supported on macOS Sierra (10.12) or later.
LibreOffice is a free MS Office Suite clone. It will install on your Yosemite installation. This is the best Word document compatibility solution when you don't have Microsoft Word at home.
If you don't have Pages, then you can't get it from the Mac App Store because that current requirement is that you have macOS High Sierra 10.13 or later installed. Apple does not retain past, full Pages installers.
You could purchase from Amazon or Ebay resellers, the retail Apple iWork '09 DVD, and then subsequently update that installation with the Apple iWork 9.3 updater. Personally, I would recommend the free LibreOffice solution, and take advantage of the well written PDF user guide for LibreOffice Writer 6.0.
You should be able to download pages from the Mac App Store for free. You can get Word there as well, but it requires a subscriptions to MS Office 365 to use.
install word or pages to mac book OS yosimite
